Do you believe a marriage without sex can survive?

Answer 1

A marriage without sex is a friendship.

Answer 2

Yes, If the marriage is based on more than sex. Who said sex was that important any way. When it comes down to it do you want someone you love being with, can talk to and can go through all of life's ups and downs with or do you want someone that is good in bed and can't stand to be around the rest of the time. Let's face it sex is always great for the first years but we all no due to nature physically it doesn't last. Are you going to just give up on the marriage because of it?

Answer 3

YES IT CAN. don't you ever see obits in the paper where it mentions some old person being married for 50+ years. do you actually think they had sex in their 90's ? Granted some do, but if you are committed to each other that's all that really matters. Sex in a marriage is an expression of love, as long as there is some other expressions of love going on there and both agree, then there should be no problem

Answer 4

Yes..if you believe in your wedding vows you will understand that sex isn't what makes a marriage work. Its trust, understanding, communication, sex is just apart of it. Look at all the people that cannot have sex with there spouse due whatever reason. Yes it can survive. True love is more then physical.

Answer 5

Certainly....we all have ages that we go through...and some of those ages have a great absense of sex...it can change with time. If it couldn't survive, what would happen to so many much older couples who cannot or do not want sex...very common. But only if same for BOTH parties. Good luck

Answer 6

I think it could in some circumstances , maybe an injury or illness takes it from so many people everyday and they work through it. They may work out alternatives or it might not be as important to them....but, if you mean a marriage where one partner just decides to quit and leaves the other partner in need, then I don't think it would work.

Fun and creative questions...keep it up it's great!

Answer 7

I would think that it would be a huge part of your relationship, but if you both agree and are truly ok, there can be more to a marriage than sex. I wouldn't live in a sexless marriage. I can be single and avoid all the hassles if that were the case.

Answer 8

Nope, not really. Depends on your religious beliefs too, as well as if you are A-sexual or not. I watched Prime Time the other night and there are actually sex less marriages and people that are A-sexual, 1% of the population to be exact. I do not think that a sexless marriage is healthy.

Answer 9

no becuae sex is the symptom of what ever unresolved conflict has not been addressed properly becuase one person does not acknowledge the other persons dignity and feelings as a person ,. so they refuse to acknowledge the others viewpoint by deeming it wrong or invalid or they oppress the other person who is insecure and afraid to say anything out of fear of beating or abandonment either way or any other way, someone is an expectation not living up to someone elses instead of a real person with feelings that have nothing to do with right or wrong or blame, just reality that someone else will not accept or validate so resentments and passive aggressive patterns grow then comes distance estrangement and contempt until someone becomes so fed up it is completely over for a few months or year until a divorce is finally sought

Answer 10

I would love to be 'politically correct' and say YES, IF YOU REALLY LOVE THE PERSON, but I guess it depends on the reason behind it. If the person is ill or incapable then, I would hope that the other person could please themselves. I think a lot of people would look outside the marriage. I would love my hubby until the end of time and I pray he feels the same!
